Create curves on a surface

- Let's take a look at how to create a curve on a surface.…We've looked at similar commands in the past…and those were creating what we call a curve on surface.…This is actually curve data on the surface.…We're gonna move over to this example here.…What we have is essentially, we have a surface…with the lettering "Alias" behind it.…Let's go to wireframe.…We're going to, just very quickly…I'm going to add a little bit of the patch precision lines…so you can see the complexity of that surface.…

That surface actually is quite a complex surface…to project and create curves on top of.…Let's go to the Surface Edit, Create CurveOnSurface,…Project, and you can see from the example here…this is what we've been using in the past…which was Curves on surfaces.…We're actually gonna select Curves.…If we do a reset we're gonna go…back to Curve on surface by default…but check on Curves.…What we're gonna do is we're gonna use Curve fit.…You'll see the difference between…Curve fit and Match original is that…I have the ability with Curve fit to use explicit control.…
